Families and public services could keep facing financial pressure unless Britain's ties with Europe change, Neil Kinnock argued. Speaking to The Independent in an interview published on 4 July 2026, the former Labour leader said the UK should seek European Union membership again and urged incoming prime minister Andy Burnham to rethink Labour's Brexit limits. Kinnock predicted a future vote could back rejoining by two to one.
